Let the kijana make the choice. Even if he chooses Mathogothanio Secondary. No school will make him successful

I looked at the 2012 & 2013 exam rankings and was shocked to see that Mangu had dropped to No. 24 and 26 in those years. What happened to the former top school?

I was in Kapsabet Boys High School in Nandi County. Last year they were position 4 nationally, with more than 95% of students securing vacancies in public universities!! Almost everyone scored an A or A-, if u scored a B+ u failed!! The problem is the primivity of us Kalenjins! Very sharp and intelligent guyz but ushamba mtupu, porr networking, kushema and traditional mannerisms!! Enjoy every moment of your life, you never know when your time will come.

Heard my former teacher claim that from the FPE batch there were issues as their entry to Seco coincided with affirmative intake for public school candidates. This would only make sense if it applied to all 'old' national schools. The old boys blame the administration for eroding the culture and values. I hear these days the boys there have full day preps on Saturday But at least they're still a sports powerhouse...infact, better

If he chooses strath n the parents don't stay west of Uhuru highway, ask them to move those sides even if it means renting 4 the next 4 yrs - I know many who did that - otherwise traffic hassles will get the better of the boy

It all comes to leadership and management. Poor leadership or lack of it will bring the mightiest school to its knees. Lord, thank you!

Strathmore or Mangu... I say Kerugoya Boys High School. Though its reputation is now atstake after afew knockoheads set the school on fire sometimes back. BUT in my days that place was like a military camp. It taught me how to be a Man! The wardens of kerugoya prison which its shamba was next to the school used to know us by names even in the dark! FEAR GOD

 Exactly!! Back when I was in form one some boy opted to leave our school for some 'small' school in Ukambani He told the teachers who called the parents. The dad almost killed the boy infront of the teachers. We were told he was fuming and shaking. He could not understand why the boy would want to leave a national school for such a school I don't know how the guy fared. But I think some people thrive where they feel comfortable and recognised. They go to a place where star grades are looked as normal and their confidence goes... Some rich parents would bribe to have their sons in those top schools so that they can pass like the rest. A good number walianguka mpaka wakainua miguu!
